Missouri Attorney General candidates to attend forum in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) — Candidates for the Missouri attorney general’s office will participate in an election forum on Tuesday night.

The forum will feature Democratic Candidate Elad Gross, Republican current Attorney General Andrew Bailey, and Republican challenger Will Scharf.

The event starts at 7 p.m. at Calvary Chapel in east Springfield. The candidates will participate in an open forum about the future of the office and plans for Missouri.

The Missouri Democrat Party hopes the public will get a better sense of the candidates after hearing them speak on the issues at events like Springfield.

“I hope people are able to separate themselves from the R or D after their names and really hear what the candidates are saying. I really think that it’s going to present a good opportunity for them to hear the values and hear the types of things that each candidate wants to be talking about,” says Chelsea Rodriguez.

KY3 contacted the Missouri Republican Party about the forum, and they declined the request for an interview. KY3 asked for a statement.

The public is welcome to attend the event and hear from the candidates.
